Anne Wagner, PhD

Remedy

Speaker Bio

Anne created Remedy as a home for the creative exploration of practice and community, and to fund the work of Remedy Institute, a home for research and accessible services. Anne works with individuals, couples, other intimate relationship constellations, and groups to navigate experiences of growth, exploration, relationships, mindfulness, preparing for and integrating psychedelic and non-ordinary state experiences, life stressors, trauma, and depression. With extensive experience in mindfulness-based and contemplative practices, cognitive, behavioural, and psychedelic-assisted therapies, Anne has been exploring existential and humanistic therapies to complement her evolving interests and experiences. Strongly believing in the power of emotions and felt experiences in the body as cues and opportunities to become curious, she values non-judgment, presence, and openness in the therapeutic experience. She particularly enjoys working with artists, relationships, those who are hoping to expand in their lives, and exploring the experiences of gender and sexuality. Anne believes in being genuine, empathic, honest, curious, and warm as a therapist. Her practice is honouring and inclusive of all sexual and gender identities and expressions. She holds dear the values of inclusivity, trauma-competency, anti-oppression, and feminism.

Anne is the principal investigator of the pilot trial of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD + MDMA, and the randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) for PTSD + MDMA. Anne collaborates on numerous projects with other researchers, spanning across the fields of psychedelics, trauma, couples therapy, HIV, and the experiences of women. Anne trains and supervises students, and provides consultation and training to peers. She sits on the board of Casey House, is the past-Chair of the Traumatic Stress Section of the Canadian Psychological Association, and is a Global Ambassador for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.

ICPR 2024 Abstract

The Why and How of Queering Psychedelics

This panel is dedicated to centering 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC perspectives in psychedelic research and field practices. Recognizing the historical underrepresentation of these voices, our focus is to shed light on these essential perspectives, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the complex intersectionality within the field of psychedelic experiences. This panel discussion hopes to help promote more inclusive practices for Queer individuals, while also highlighting how taking a Queer perspective when working with psychedelic substances might be beneficial for all. 

A key focus of this event is to go beyond theoretical discussions and provide researchers and field workers with tangible, functional solutions to address these issues. We seek to empower the audience with actionable insights that can be directly implemented in their ongoing work. For example, instead of focusing the discussion on the gendered practices in this field, we can use this as a starting point to lead the main discussion on practical implications. We want to create an interactive space that fosters meaningful dialogue and encourages active audience participation.
